I can honestly say I would not change a thing. When I hear expansion, this is what I have always envisioned, but have been let down. Yuri’s Revenge has just raised the bar on what a good expansion is supposed to be!

After playing many late nights I am still excited to jump back in and play some more multiplayer matches, and it is always fun to watch the cinematics. If you are a big fan of C&C you will enjoy the extra-added features that Yuri’s Revenge will provide. If you are a fan of Real Time Strategy games, you will be pleasantly surprised at the wonderful job Westwood has done.

Buy it for the multiplayer mode. The campaigns are decent, but the lack of a Yuri campaign which would be the most interesting of any campaign were it in place is a big disappointment. So play online instead, as I've mentioned, it's much better with the new units. For an expansion pack, Yuri's is unmatched in it's level of depth.

If you were looking for the fun, action and humor of Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge gives you a platoon full of new missions designed to test your command skills and a new army of psychic mutants to crush multiplayer opponents. It doesn't take a mind reader to deduce that Yuri's Revenge is a must have expansion.

Overall, Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge treats to the same clean, fast-paced, frenetic game play as Red Alert 2, adding a new side, new multiplayer options, and a brand-new C&C bad guy to beat up on. Despite its shortcomings, Yuri's Revenge is a solid buy for anyone who owns Red Alert 2.

Yuri’s Revenge is an expansion worthy of the king of all real-time strategy games, Red Alert 2. This game doesn’t mess around; the missions are challenging right from the get-go, quickly removing the RTS cobwebs from your mouse finger.

So it's a big ol' expansion and more than worth the wait. There are a few features still missing (like the undeploy command or the need to reassign groups after they've been mind-controlled, oh, and the silly par times for missions are still in) but overall the product is solid. The single player game might have included a campaign for Yuri but, again, this is a minor issue. Yuri's Revenge gives a really excellent game some really impressive enhancements.

Overall, Yuri’s Revenge is a very nice expansion pack. There are no bugs or technical problems, the production values are excellent, and the gameplay is fun. What more could you want? Well, ok, a longer single-player experience would be nice, and the price is a little high (what happened to the $20 expansion pack?), but it’s hard to argue too much with the effort that went into making the title.

good expansion pack, Yuri's Revenge builds on the design strengths of Red Alert 2 and preserves the same 'high balance' present in the first game. Westwood keeps the game at a reasonable level, a little bit tougher to beat than the first game and obviously designed for a player familiar with Red Alert 2, but with a learning curve that won't outpace you as you learn the new units. At the same cost as most expansion packs, this one gives you enough to be entertained but doesn't leave you thinking you just wasted a bit of cash on features that should've been included in the first game.

All its new features combine to make Yuri's Revenge ideal or even downright necessary for anyone who enjoyed Red Alert 2. Like its predecessor, it's a well-designed, fast-paced, flexible, and ultimately very fun real-time strategy game with a lot of variety and a lot of appeal. The enhancements it introduces to the gameplay of its predecessor are meaningful, well thought out, and diverse--so much so that you'll probably find it impossible to go back to vanilla Red Alert 2 after you've tried Yuri's Revenge.

For people that want to play to get into the rankings at Westwood online, Westwood made it so that only Quick Match now generates points for the ranking. Overall, Yuri's Revenge is an add-on that you cannot go without if you're into this type of games or just loved Red Alert 2

The fourteen new missions will provide at least twenty new hours of fun. Some of them are far easier than one would expect. The multiplayer mode still supports up to six players, and the new balanced gameplay promises a far better multiplayer experience. Players are now able to choose their starting positions, and the developers added ten new cooperative missions for team players.

Yuri’s Revenge is in every way an improvement over it predecessor. It has good new units, a challenging and fun campaign, movies as good if not better than those of previous C&C titles, and some new features. Fans of Red Alert 2 will enjoy this expansion. And those who have never played Red Alert 2 now have an even better excuse to try the game.
